flat spots?

 

ya its flat on one side of the tire

 

I vote this!


Seriously, find a new shop. Dude recommended one for you already. Check them OUT NAO!

 

The only thing left to ask is had your car ever been in a accident ? Also choppy tires can be from bad struts ..

 

I went through the same thing. I burnt thru a brand new set of Yokohamas in a month and a half I knew my alignment was way off because I was adding parts to the rear and the fact that I have a 2-way LSD doesn't help. I took it to get aligned and the toe was WAY off.

 

You can flat spot your tire if you don't have abs and lock up your tires under braking. But since we have abs, most likely this applies to you:

It seems pretty clear that it is massively toe'd. your alignment is way off. probably why they wouldnt give you a data sheet of before and after

 

did you install toe bolts and elongated the holes to allow for more adjustment?

 

the inner side of the rear passenger tire has barely any tread left. all the other three are fine.. I just dont understand whats the problem.. Also what is a good place to get rotations on our g35 coupes at? (For decent price) Goodyear was saying $20 for each tire...

 

He posted pic of both rear tires and they're worn exactly the same, no flat spots visible just worn. It's obviously an alignment issue but it's still difficult to believe new tires would look like this in only 30 days....unless you've driven coast to coast and back.

You can't rotate tires on a coupe...if you have wear it is due to worn out parts or out of align. Take it to a competent shop and have suspension checked and if it's all good get a full 4 wheel alignment and get a before and after printout.
Too many damn flatrate shop guys just set it up on the rack and adjust the front toe...that's why you need to see the printouts.

 

God damn... those tires look like they've been through a straight up Rape-storm. It's too bad your tires aren't the type that emit red/blue/green colored smoke during a burnout.... it would have been funny to see a faint colored smoke stream constantly coming from your cars tires as you drove everywhere for the entire month.

 

gotten an alignment yet? just curious. Also, not sure exactly what the "uneven wavy" pattern looks like, but if your toe is very far out of spec (like it appears to be judging by the tire wear) theres a condition called "diagonal swipe". it produces diagonal flat spots across the tread of the tire. if you look at the tire from the side and the condition is bad enough, you can see low and high spots in the tread. food for thought

 

If you had an alignment right tire pressure good struts and didn't do figure 8 burn outs then your tires shouldn't of worn like that . Even with the negative camber these cars come with .. That's why I was asking if your car has ever been in a wreck ? Even so the person who did the alignment could of just threw it out of wack if he didn't know what he was doing or the machine wasn't calibrated properly . Just my opinion .

 

gary, there are kind of 2 conversations going on here. There is the OP (Atsang), then Ndianx asked a separate question on flatspots.
